One of my favorite Thai places in Boston. The food never disappoints.
Do not order delivery service from this restaurant. They broke my doorbell and have not heard back from the owner to get reimbursed.
good thai food close to BU and kenmore sq. Overall food is on par with what you would expect for price although some dishes can be significantly better. Pad thai from this place is really good.
Cute place for pad thai – The atmosphere and decor of this place surpasses all the other ethnic restaurants in the area!! I love the fish tank and authentic Oriental decoration. The service is pretty decent, and the food is really yummy! It's a bit pricier than takeout places like S&I, but the pad thai is to die for. They also have some sort of special Thai milkshakes or smoothies or something that my friends all love. I believe they also serve alcohol here.
Great Food but expect to be rushed – I have been to both of the Brown Sugar restaurants but most recently to the Comm Ave location. The Thai food here is excellent, my favorite dish is the sizzling platter with scallops and shrimp prepared right next to your table and served immedaitely. Its quite a sight when its brought over and I suggest you take advantage. The pineapple-based rice dishes are also very nice with really cool presentation.
My problem with Brown Sugar is that its so cramped on Comm Ave I wonder if they even have the room to prepare the dish tableside. You're practically sitting on top of your neighbors and your food will arrive almost immediately after you order on a busy night. also, don't expect to sit after dinner, your waiter will ask to clear plates the minute they're remotely empty.
The restaurants concern for turning over tables makes for an uncomfortable experience - so I don't usually go unless I plan on eating, paying, and getting out in under 30 minutes.
Can't say i'm a huge fan, but maybe on Tuesday nights its a little more civil. Check out Khao Sarn in Brookline if you're looking for something a little slower (albeit out of the way).
Run away from this place – After reading all of your glowing reviews, I made the big mistake of eating here last night prior to an event at the Agganis Arena. We ordered a variety of items (fresh spring rolls, ribs, pad thai special of the day and spicy pork & green beans) they were all lacking in flavor, spice and culinary skill. This place is a mill where they churn out subpar food that all looks and tastes the same. They rush the food to your table and try to hustle you out to turn as many tables as possible. I can only assume they do not think you are coming back so crappy food and rushed service are the norm. Do not waste your time or money, eating at any of the fast food places nearby is a better bet than this place.
Fantastic Thai food with great service – The food was outstanding - their khao soi (a Northern Thai yellow curry with crispy and soft noodles) was spot-on, just as I've eaten in Thailand, and the spicyness was just right. Service was efficient but unrushed and very friendly. If eating out in Boston I'd wholeheartedly recommend eating here.
good food, sub-par service – hostesses, not the happiest on earth. at peak times wait is longer than the meal itself. service is dependent on individual server. tables are placed very close to one another your rear end risks sweeping other people's food off their table. overall experience is... "acceptable."
food, for the most part, is great, and they have about 20 kinds of pad thai for you to try at each visit! my personal fav is the roast duck red curry, although one time it was on a sweeter side of curry (which i like) and one time it was like szechuan spicy.
Great Atmosphere – It's close to BU campus, so it's busy a lot of nights. Food was better than expected, the atmosphere was nice. I would recommend it for a first date.
The BU area's go-to spot for authentic Thai cuisine offers locals a perfectly romantic, and affordable, date spot. – Colorful fish tanks, framed butterflies, cream colored walls and metallic fans conspire to set a distinctly romantic mood, much to the satisfaction of the many young couples who stop in before a show or after a study break. For the uninitiated, Brown Sugar's epic menu provides a flavorful intro to the pleasures of Thai fare. Experienced diners revel in authentic preparations of favorites like choo chee fisherman (seafood with a kaffir lime-spiced curry sauce) and masaman curry. Newbies can select from dozens of not-too-spicy, not-too-foreign options like crunchy spring rolls and cloyingly sweet pad thai. So-called "gourmet originals" offer more than a dozen bases for a choose-your-own-adventure experience.

This is typical of the Bronco's mentality that has always existed and still exists today.
Former Broncos center Tom Nalen admits trying to intentionally injure player
Former Denver Broncos center Tom Nalen said that he intentionally tried to hurt a player, according to the team's website.
He made the admission during a press conference to introduce him as a member of the Broncos Ring of Fame.
Nalen said that in 2006, he attempted to injure San Diego Chargers defensive lineman Igor Olshansky.
On the play Nalen is referring to, the Broncos lined up to spike the ball and stop the clock, causing players on both teams to stand up. Instead, Nalen dove into Olshansky's knee and Olshansky then threw two punches at Nalen and was ejected from the game.
"I wouldn't consider myself a dirty player," Nalen said. "I know people will bring up the Igor Olshansky play in 2006, but if people would look at the play before that and realize why I did what I did — and even on that play I missed the cut — so you know definitely, I wanted to blow his knee out on that play because of what happened the play before. But that, you know, is that dirty? I don't know. It's revenge, kind of, so."
Nalen was fined $25,000 for the play and Olshansky was fined $10,000 for retaliating.
This is typical of the Bronco's mentality that has always existed and still exists today.
most players are trying to injure other players every play
He played with Romanowski, for bleeps sake... and every team in the league despised Denver for the vicious cut blocking that Shanahan forced them to use, the guys who were doing it hated doing it, but if they didn't Shanny would cut them, his strategy was to hurt people and make them play in fear from the relentless gutless cut blocking, it's what the Broncs were ALWAYS known and hated for. Show some cojones to admit itl.
The Broncos always play dirty.
Is this sports news really.?
We're all shocked. Shocked!
What's the big deal about rehashing one more time? Just another publicity stunt!
So this guy in Burnt Orange Durango cut me on at a red light and slammed on his breaks causing me to almost rear end him.
At the next red light, I pulled up along side him and took out a gun and intentionally tried to kill him, his wife, his retarded daughter and the dog that was in his car too.
Was that dirty? I mean, if you look at the previous red light camera, you will see he cut me off and tried to cause me to crash.. so I guess a little dirty and retaliation makes everything okie dokie.. Thanks
Not sure what makes this D Bag more of an idiot. The fact that he actually tried to intentionally injure another player or the fact he's dumb enough to admit it. Only thing that out does his lack of class is his stupidity.
I know this happens a lot (I played college ball), but seriously, anyone who tries to injure another player should be suspended for a season. That doesn't just mess with the game, but it messes with a person's life. I'm only 33, and my knees are already debilitated because of my football injuries.
Those Broncos teams were as dirty as you get. They tried to injure plenty of players. I remember being a few feet away from George Foster as he dove in Paul Spicer's leg and snapped it in a week two game and ended his season. No place for that in the NFL.
Yes, Mr. Nalen. It is dirty. You can look up that word, and the word "psychopath" for your homework tonight.
@stashu ...says the butthurt Raiders fan!
Makes perfect sense Tom man just ask that idiot Nalen I'm sure he will agree also
@Axel That's Hall of Fame d-bag to you, pal. Probably in the top 3 centers of all time in the NFL.
@Axel not sure who's more of an idiot, a guy who thinks this is anything even remotely out of the norm in the NFL or one who is shocked when someone admits it.
@JonathanD This is why these sorts of things (fines/suspensions) should be decided only by guys who have played football at a high level. You have perspective and honesty about the situation. As, I think, Nalen does now.
All teams play dirty (the cut block)...it's just not really talked about a lot. Forward motion can put an opposing player into an awkward stance where another player can do some serious damage.
@cyber92sax And, of course, the offensive and defensive lines are where the cleanest, most properly mannered and respectful acts take place on the football field!
@cyber92sax Forget about knees I think he was hit in the head a few too many times if he doesn't think that's dirty.
@FuzzyManPeach Top 3 of all time? That's a reach.....Mike Webster, Jim Otto, and Jim Ringo are probably the top three. Not sure Nalen is even in the top 10. Demontti Dawson and Dwight Stevenson were great as well and were better than Nalen.
@ITATTRACTS @Axel I think I know who the biggest idiot of all is. The person who actually tries defend this a-hole.
@JRock @FuzzyManPeach Of course, I should've mentioned "in the modern era". I mean, we can drudge up any player from 60 years ago as a hypothetical, when D lineman were tipping the scales at 220 pounds...

You might recall, back in the Spring, when the authorities set out to determine which of the financials institutions should become roadkill and which were too big to fail, that one of the factors they included was the unemployment rate. In really putting the screws to the banks, they used a big, bad, nasty unemployment rate of . . . 10 gnarly percent. Yep, 10%!
In May I included a poll about what you–all six of you–thought of that.
- 57% thought the unemployment rate would be 10-12%
- 24% thought between 12-15%
- 19% thought "about what the government's stress test said"
Well, apparently the worst is behind us, since today's Nonfarm Payrolls report printed an unemployment rate of 10.2%.

McVeigh, when he became the DA, had big big shoes to fill. He certainly filled them, of that there should be no doubt. McVeigh will probably not remember that I (your humble letter writer) knew him when he was a rookie attorney. Now as the DA, he has proven himself time and time again to be a man of integrity and character.
Pandering to special-interest groups or politics has no place in McVeigh's indefatigable pursuit of justice. Support all law enforcement agencies and always support your district attorney.
This is especially essential now when circus politico in Washington is crumbling like a stale cookie, from the Abominable General to the Infernal Rotting Service. It is overwhelmingly obvious, taking into account the workload of the DA's office, that your district attorney has little time to suffer fools. Pardon the pun(s).

Few visitors to the Southwest are prepared for the awesome scale and beauty of the desert cities and cliff palaces left by the Ancestral Puebloans, as seen all over the high plateaus of the "Four Corners" district, where Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Utah now meet.
Although the earliest humans reached the Southwest around 10,000 BC, the Ancestral Puebloans first appeared as the Basketmakers, near the San Juan River, two thousand years ago. Named for their woven sandals and bowls, they lived in pits in the earth, roofed with logs and mud. Over time, the Ancestral Puebloans adopted an increasingly settled lifestyle, becoming expert farmers and potters. Their first freestanding houses on the plains were followed by multistoreyed pueblos, in which hundreds of families lived in complexes of contiguous "apartments". The astonishing cliff dwellings, perched on precarious ledges high above remote canyons, which they began to build around 1100 AD, were the first Ancestral Puebloan settlements to show signs of defensive fortifications. Competition for scarce resources became even fiercer toward the end of the thirteenth century and it's thought that warfare and even cannibalism played a role in their ultimate dispersal. Moving eastward, they joined forces with other displaced groups in a coming-together that eventually produced the modern Pueblo Indians. Hence the recent change of name, away from "Anasazi", a Navajo word meaning "ancient enemies", in favour of "Ancestral Puebloan".
Among the most significant Ancestral Puebloan sites are:
Mesa Verde
Magnificent cliff palaces, high in the canyons of Colorado.
Bandelier National Monument
Large riverside pueblos and cave-like homes hollowed from volcanic rock.
Chaco Canyon
The largest and most sophisticated freestanding pueblos, far out in the desert.
Several small pueblo communities, built by assorted tribal groups.
Walnut Canyon
Numerous canyon-wall houses above lush Walnut Creek.
Canyon-side community set in a vast rocky alcove in Navajo National Monument.
Canyon de Chelly
Superbly dramatic cliff dwellings in a glowing sandstone canyon now owned and farmed by the Navajo.
Enigmatic towers poised above a canyon.Read More

Vi is Simply the Best Hair Stylist in Chicago – My former hair stylist moved out of town and I had no idea where to go! I got many recommendations from friends and work pals, and did a lot of online searching, but I never got a great feeling about anyone or any salon. I spent over a year just letting my hair grow too long not knowing what to do! Then I came across reviews for Salon de Vive. Something in my gut told me that this was the place to go and I booked an appointment with Vi, the owner. That was at least 4 years ago and I have become a most loyal client and fan of Vi. She is insane good. I actually never had anyone take the time she did, and still does, to discuss in detail not just the type of cut I want, but what look I am going for, what I want to achieve, how I live with and work with my hair, my lifestyle, etc. She gets it! And she always remembers our last visit, what we did then, and what we might adjust this time. Her cuts are ALWAYS impeccable! and they grow out beautifully! almost too much so that I tend to not get my hair cut as often ( I do keep a longer style) And her Color is always perfect. She actually figured out the color that matches my natural hair color almost so exactly that you cannot tell when the color grows out! I can go a longer time than usual without a touch up thanks to her brilliance! Plus she is always warm and kind and really takes time with you, and gives what feels like very special attention. I feel very well taken care of, even spoiled. She is truly a gift and a pleasure! As long as she is in business I will be her client! Thanks Vi, you're simply the Best!
Love Vi, She is the Best Hair Stylist Ever! – I have been getting my hair cut, and highlighted by Vi for the past 20 Years! She also did my hair for my wedding and all the weddings/parties I attended. Can never imagine getting my hair done by anyone else. I will Die if I LOOSE her. Vi is my GIRL! She always listens to what you want and always gives her honest opinion and recommendations on new styles..
My last visit I got a GLOBAL KERATIN Treatment done on my hair. Its turned out fabulous. I recommend this for anyone that has very curly hair and would like to try get the straight look. I still have a ton of body for having curly and thick hair however, it takes less time blow drying and not to mention my hair is sooo silky soft! Highly recommended. Salon De Vive is the place to go!
Luv ya Vi!
Love Carlo, He's Awesome – Carlo has been cutting, coloring my hair for over 10 plus years now.
He does great cuts and great color, but he gives me an awesome blowdry. He can get the fine little fly away hairs I have on my forehead so perfect. Highly recommend!
He is quite enjoyable and will give you a great conversation.
Would never use anyone in Chicago but Carlo – I'm very, very picky about my thick, long, curly, frizzy, crazy head of hair. I came to Salon De Vive on recommendation from a client at the Aveda Salon I went to in NYC and met Carlo shortly after moving to Chicago 9 months ago. Carlo always listens to me about what works for my head of hair (years of dealing with this craziness has given me lots of rules!!) and he makes good suggestions about how to make my life easier and my look prettier. I trust him implicitly and he is endlessly patient with the time and effort it takes to color, cut and style my hair.
He has taken my dark NYC head of hair to a lovely shade of Goldy Brown and his cuts are impeccable. After the color change in particular, I received so many compliments and several of my girlfriends asked me who my stylist was. It doesn't hurt either that he is also a delight to spend time with and is perfectly adorable!! I wouldn't use any other stylist!
Cannot give enough praise to Carlo! – Carlo has been cutting my hair for over 10 years now, when I was living in New York I even flew back to Chicago for haircuts/color because I didn't trust anyone else with my hair!
If you're sick and tired of telling your stylist that you want your hair to look a certain way, and walking out of the salon wishing you had a bag over your head - COME TO CARLO!!!
He's a great stylist because he listens to exactly what you want, and provides suggestions when you want a change but you're just not sure what you want. His technical skills are beyond any other stylist I've ever encountered, he's cut my hair short and long, and it always looks beyond amazing! He takes the time to perfectly style your hair, and even more importantly, teaches you how to achieve that same look at home. Carlo has shown me how to take my hair from pin-straight, to sexy waves and everything in between! And yes, he is a master at color - I get so many compliments on how deep, rich, and shiny that my hair is!
In addition to all of this, he is so warm and welcoming - you'll never feel uncomfortable sitting in his chair!
Don't take my word for it though - if you're sick and tired of mediocre cuts, come and see Carlo! You won't regret it!
Stefanie .... is MAGIC!! – A great hair stylist is hard to find ... and I am pretty high maintenance when it comes to my hair. Besides becoming easily bored with my hair, I am always looking for new ideas, and I want a sassy, on-trend look that still is professional. A tall order, which Stefanie has fulfilled for the past 5 years!! She consistently gives a fantastic haircut that continues to look great for months!! I recently referred a friend that was unhappy with her hair to Stefanie .... she loved the whole experience and cannot stop thanking me! Stefanie has a real gift, she is priceless!!
So very happy thanks to Stefanie – I have very long curly hair, it has always been a nightmare getting my hair cut, especially for a trim. I'll ask for one or two inches cut, next thing I know, 5 inches are gone. When Stefanie first cut my hair, it was done exactly they way I wanted it and I've been going to her ever since.
Recently I volunteered for a fashion show and asked Stefanie to do my hair and make-up for it. She did a superb job and also gave me honest opinions and tips on my outfits for the show. Much appreciated, she's got style!
Stefanie works miracles!!! – I have been going to Stefaine for years because she can actually decipher all the crazy ideas I have for my hair and create a coherent, working style that suits me. I have had every color and cut known to mankind (red, blue, purple, platinum blonde, brown, black, highlights, lowlights short, pixie, razored, long, fringe, bobs, layers etc.) and she has made each style look amazing.
I will often bring in pictures and sketches of the type of hair that I want (sometimes just a description) and we collaborate and create cutting edge styles. I have said make me look like a Japanese Anime character or make me look like Reese Witherspoon and she has... and will continually,...with a smile. She is one of the most happiest, friendliest, and versatile stylist in Chicago and I highly recommend her!
Always Satisfied! – I absolutely love Stefanie! I usually go to her with a vague description of what I'm looking for, and she always delivers. She is the only person that has been able to color my hair the exact color I desire. She is extremely personable, and is super sweet. I highly recommend her!
Cool Cut! – OMG Stephanie is a pro! She cut my hair so cute, very cool hip cut, I love it! Get lots of compliments on it. Cute shop too and everyone there seems really nice.

The Montrose County Commissioners approved a resolution to reject the UN's Agenda 21. They feel it involves 'government regulations that go too far and are prohibiting viable uses of public lands in the region.' In other words it is contrary to 'our American way of life' and results in the elimination of our 'rights and freedoms'.
Agenda 21 was developed in 1992 at The UN Conference on Environment and Development held in Rio de Janeiro. It has four sections, the second of which is Conservation and Management of Resources for Development. This section includes atmospheric protection, combating deforestation, protecting fragile environments, biodiversity, control of pollution and the management of biotechnology and radioactive wastes. Sounds to me like its purpose is to protect our environment so we can continue to live in a world that is safe for all living things and leave a viable world for future generations.
Talk about eroding the American way of life. If we allow every mining company, industry, energy explorer, recreational activity and timber producer to invade our natural habitats and public lands, would they not destroy it for us and for our children? And for what? The almighty dollar? Some things are worth saving, and our environment is at the top of the list.
Citizens' rights are diverse. My rights would be violated if any and all industries and activities were allowed unrestricted use of our open spaces. I want to continue to breathe fresh air and have wildlife in my neighborhood. If the quest for income destroys my surroundings, would not my freedoms and rights be violated? Let's take care of the earth created for us. I say hurray for Agenda 21 and bully for the United Nations.

Historically, most Native Americans revered
gray wolves, trying to emulate their cunning
and hunting abilities. However, wolves
became nearly extinct in the lower 48 states
in the early part of the 20th century because
settlers believed wolves caused widespread
livestock losses. Constantly persecuted and
targeted by large scale predator eradication
programs sponsored by the federal
government, wolves have been pursued with
more passion and determination than any
other animal in U.S. history. By the time
wolves were finally protected by the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, they had
been exterminated from the lower 48 states,
except for a few hundred that inhabited
extreme northeastern Minnesota.
Second only to humans in their adaption to
climate extremes throughout the world, gray
wolves were equally at home in the deserts
of Israel, the deciduous forests of Virginia
and the frozen Arctic of Siberia. Within the
continental United States, gray wolves once
ranged from coast to coast and from Canada
to Mexico.
Wolf groups, or packs, usually consist of a
set of parents (alpha pair), their offspring
and other non-breeding adults. Wolves begin
mating when they are 2 to 3 years old,
sometimes establishing lifelong mates.
Wolves usually rear their pups in dens for
the first six weeks. Dens are often used year
after year, but wolves may also dig new dens
or use some other type of shelter, such as a
cave. An average of five pups are born in
early spring and are cared for by the entire
pack. They depend on their mother's milk
for the first month, then they are gradually
weaned and fed regurgitated meat brought
by other pack members. By 7 to 8 months of
age, when they are almost fully grown, the
pups begin traveling with the adults. Often,
after 1 or 2 years of age, a young wolf leaves
and tries to find a mate and form its own
pack. Lone dispersing wolves have traveled
as far as 500 miles in search of a new home.
Wolf packs usually live within a specific
territory. Territories range in size from 50
square miles to more than 1,000 square miles
depending on how much prey is available and
seasonal prey movements. Packs use a
traditional area and defend it from strange
wolves. Their ability to travel over large areas
to seek out vulnerable prey makes wolves
good hunters.Wolves may travel as far as 30
miles in a day. Although they usually trot
along at 5 m.p.h., wolves can attain speeds as
high as 45 m.p.h for short distances.
Indirectly, wolves support a wide variety of
other animals. Ravens, foxes, wolverines,
vultures and even bears feed on the remains of
animals killed by wolves. In some areas, bald
eagles routinely feed on the carcasses of
animals killed by wolves during the winter.
Antelope are swift, elk are alert, and mountain
goats can climb steep cliffs because of the long
termevolutionary effect of wolf predation.
Wolves also help regulate the balance between
these ungulates (hoofed animals) and their
food supply, making room for smaller plant-eaters
such as beaver and small rodents.
Wolves are noted for their distinctive howl,
which they use as a form of communication.
Biologists do not know all of the reasons why
wolves howl, but they may do so before and
after a hunt, to sound an alarm and to locate
other members of the pack when separated.
Wolves howl more frequently in the evening
and early morning, especially during winter-breeding
and pup rearing. Howling is also
one way that packs warn other wolves to
stay out their territory.
Early settlers moving westward severely
depleted most populations of bison, deer, elk
and moose—animals that were important
prey for wolves. With little alternative,
wolves turned to sheep and cattle that had
replaced their natural prey. To protect
livestock, ranchers and government agencies
Gray wolf
Canis lupus
U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
Western settlers believed that the gray
wolf caused widespread livestock losses,
leading to the wolf 's near extinction in
the lower 48 states in the early part of the
20th century. Under large scale predator
control programs, wolves were hunted
and killed with more passion and zeal
than any other animal in U.S. history.
began a campaign to eliminate wolves.
Bounty programs initiated in the 19th
century continued as late as 1965, offering
$20 to $50 per wolf. Wolves were trapped,
shot from planes and snowmobiles, dug from
their dens, and hunted with dogs. Animal
carcasses salted with strychnine were left
out for wolves to eat. Unfortunately this
practice also indiscriminately killed eagles,
ravens, foxes, bears and other animals which
fed on the poisoned carrion.
Today about 2,200 wolves live in the wild in
Minnesota, fewer than twenty on Lake
Superior's Isle Royale, about120 in Michigan's
Upper Peninsula, 120 inWisconsin, and about
240 in the northern Rocky Mountains of
Montana, Idaho andWyoming.Wolves
currently are being reintroduced to Arizona
and New Mexico. An occasional wolf is seen in
Washington State, North Dakota or South
Dakota. Populations fluctuate with food
availability and strife within packs, and,
primarily, due to killing by people.
Gray wolves are listed under the
Endangered Species Act as threatened
species in Minnesota and as endangered
species elsewhere in the lower 48 states.
Endangered means a species is considered
in danger of extinction throughout all or a
significant portion of its range, and
threatened means a species may become
endangered. In Alaska, wolf populations
number 5,900 to 7,200 and are not
considered endangered or threatened.
Wolf recovery under the Endangered
Species Act has been so successful that in
June 1998 the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
announced that it would review the species'
status and consider delisting or reclassifying
specific wolf populations where appropriate.
The wolf 's comeback has been attributed to
a combination of scientific research,
conservation and management programs,
and education efforts that helped to increase
public understanding of wolves.
Successful reintroduction and management
programs have greatly accelerated wolf
recovery in the Rocky Mountains. Gray
wolves have greatly expanded their numbers
thanks to science-based wolf and wolf
habitat management; restoration of wolf
prey species such as deer, elk and moose;
and habitat and legal protection.
In Minnesota, where the largest wolf
population in the lower 48 states resides, a
state program provides compensation for
livestock confirmed to be killed by wolves,
and a federal program provides for trapping
of individual wolves guilty of depredation. In
other areas a private compensation program
run by an organization that supports wolf
restoration, the Defenders of Wildlife, pays
for livestock killed by wolves.
Wolf recovery and management are very
polarized, controversial, and emotional issues
often stemming from people's attitudes, fears
and misunderstandings more than wolves
themselves. Attitudes are often based on
inaccurate information, making wolf
management perhaps more difficult than
any other wildlife management program.
For example, some people continue to carry
the unfounded fear that wolves attack people
or threaten outdoor activities. In fact, wolves
generally avoid humans. While wolves
certainly have the ability to kill people, there
has never been a verified report of a healthy
wild wolf deliberately attacking or seriously
injuring a human in North America. Wolves
can be very tolerant of human activity if they
are not deliberately persecuted so there is
rarely a reason to restrict human activity,
including logging and mining, simply
because wolves live in the area.
For the past twenty years, Yellowstone
National Park has been at the center of
debates over the wolf. By about 1930, wolves
had been deliberately extirpated from the
western United States, including Yellowstone.
After years of comprehensive study and
planning, the U.S. Fish andWildlife Service
reintroduced gray wolves into Yellowstone
and U.S. Forest Service lands in central
Idaho. In 1995 and 1996, 31 wolves from
Canada were temporarily held in pens before
being released in Yellowstone National Park.
At the same time 35 wolves were released on
remote Forest Service lands in Idaho. All of
the reintroduced wolves were fitted with
radio collars and monitored by biologists
from the Fish andWildlife Service and other
cooperating agencies. The reintroduction has
been very successful and by December 1997
about 80 wolves lived in each area.
The Yellowstone and Idaho wolves are
designated as non-essential, experimental
under the Endangered Species Act. This
designation allows federal, state and tribal
agencies and private citizens more flexibility
in managing these populations. Wolves that
prey on livestock will be removed and, if
necessary, destroyed. Ranchers may kill
wolves they catch in the act of preying on
their livestock on private lands. They may be
issued a permit to do the same on public
lands after certain conditions are met. The
experimental program has worked so well in
the northwestern United States that a
similar effort is being used to restore
Mexican wolves to their historic range in the
southwestern United States.
Mexican gray wolves are the southernmost
occurring, rarest and most genetically
distinct type of gray wolf in North America.
They once lived in the mountainous regions
of the Southwest from central Mexico
throughout portions of southern Arizona,
New Mexico and Texas. Mexican wolves, or
lobos as they were called by the Spanish-speaking
people, were extirpated by
aggressive predator control programs.
Until recently Mexican wolves only existed
in captivity. In March 1998, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service released three Mexican wolf
packs into the Apache National Forest in
eastern Arizona. These wolves are the first
to exist in the wild in the United States since
1970, when the last Mexican wolf was killed.
Reintroductions will continue for 3 to 5 years
with the goal of establishing 100 wolves in
eastern Arizona and western New Mexico.
Like the Yellowstone and Idaho wolves, the
reintroduced Mexican wolf population has
been designated a non-essential,
experimental population, providing for
greater management flexibility to address
the concerns of local residents.
Wolf recovery efforts represent an
opportunity to redress past mistakes and
enhance our understanding not only of
wolves themselves, but also the complex
interactions among species in their natural
U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
July 1998
After years of comprehensive study and
planning, an effort is now underway to
reintroduce gray wolves from Canada into
Yellowstone National Park and central
Idaho as part of recovery actions for the
animal. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
is considering delisting or reclassifying
populations of wolves that have been
sufficiently recovered.

Tips to keep mobile technology secure
Whether it's an iPhone, iPad, laptop computer, Google tablet or Android phone, mobile technology is increasingly used by many dental professionals.
Storing patients' health information on mobile devices can provide faster and easier access but it also comes with potentially serious security risks.
The website www.healthit.gov/providers-professionals/your-mobile-device-and-health-information-privacy-and-security, offers a series of tip sheets, frequently asked questions, videos and downloadable materials related to mobile security.
"As technology continues to evolve, it's important for dentists to keep certain safeguards in mind when they access their patients' health information," said Dr. Jonathan Knapp, chair of the ADA Council on Dental Practice.
"The various devices we use to store patient information will undoubtedly change over time but the imperative for proper security measures will remain consistent."
The ADA offers several products to help dentists comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. The ADA Practical Guide to HIPAA Compliance: Privacy and Security Kit (J594) provides a step-by-step plan to help dentists implement a compliance program in their practice. It's $225 for members and $337.50 for nonmembers.
The ADA Practical Guide to HIPAA Training (J596) is a CD-ROM program that includes two levels of training. Level 1 teaches the basics of complying with the law to dental office staff and level 2 is a more detailed module intended for managers who are developing and implementing their office's privacy and security plan. It's $135 for members and $202.50 for nonmembers.
Each of these can be purchased through the ADA Catalog by calling 1-800-947-4746 or visiting adacatalog.org.

Patience key in Arsenal striking hunt
They say money can't buy you love. But in football, the general consensus on the transfer front is that cash is king and if you're willing to pay enough, then you can buy whomever you want.
Of course that is not always the case in the January transfer window. There are some obvious examples, like the 50 million pounds that persuaded Liverpool to sell Fernando Torres to Chelsea. But generally, clubs do not want to sell their players midway through the season. And that is the problem Arsenal faces.
The club have the money -- indeed, they were preparing to spend big on a new striker in the summer as well as on Mesut Ozil -- and if they could get their No. 1 target, then they would do the deal in January. But if you look at all of their top targets -- Edin Dzeko, Mario Mandzukic, Diego Costa and even Karim Benzema -- they are not available now.
You could offer Manchester City 50 million pounds for Dzeko and they'd probably say no. They don't need to sell. Nor do Bayern Munich with Mandzukic. Atletico Madrid are having a great season in La Liga and Costa would surely worry about leaving Spain in a World Cup year when, bearing in mind his complicated nationality issues, La Roja bosses have appeared to favour Spanish-based players in the past.
Real Madrid also do not need to sell Benzema, with Carlo Ancelotti claiming that no business would be done at all, and that is the case for FC Porto's Jackson Martinez, too, another on Arsenal's radar.
But Arsenal see Dzeko, Costa or Mandzukic as higher up their list, and if Martinez is in the second tier of Arsenal's targets, then is it really worth signing him now? A long contract and a failure to adapt midway through the season could be more trouble than it's worth at this stage. They could miss out on their No. 1 target this summer and potentially be left ruing the decision for some years.
However you look at it, signing a second-choice striker now is a true gamble. That's why I still think there's every chance that Arsene Wenger may keep his hand in his pocket this month.
From everything I hear, Wenger wants to do business. He acknowledges that Theo Walcott's injury has left the squad short, and Nicklas Bendtner is out for a month at least. But Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is coming back, and Serge Gnabry can also provide cover for Walcott on the wing.
So if Arsenal do manage to do business in January, it may be a loan signing or an emergency stop-gap deal on the cheap from a cash-strapped club.
Signing Alvaro Morata on loan from Real Madrid would be perfect; he's young, hungry and full of potential. He would be an exciting arrival and would get some valuable game time, something that can help both sides. Arsenal are keen but the biggest obstacle is whether Madrid will agree to loan him out.
Otherwise, it seems Arsenal will wait. Last summer's botched pursuit of Luis Suarez was a painful lesson for the club. If they'd bid 45 million pounds and then 50 million pounds, who knows what could have happened? Instead, the infamous 40,000,001 million offer led to Liverpool digging in their heels, and the Gunners will be anxious to get it right next time they spend big.
Dzeko can get goals, and next summer he'll only have one year left on his contract. Mandzukic won't want to kick his heels on the bench when Robert Lewandowski arrives, and who knows, Wayne Rooney may even be available.
So while January may seem tempting and promising, Arsenal fans may get long-term gains with a bit of patience. Some striking depth will aid their title charge, but spending big in January may not be what is required.

Child Protection
Children deserve to be cared for in a loving and nurturing environment, free of abuse, violence, exploitation and neglect, yet children are vulnerable to these in many different situations - families, schools, alternative care, in work environments and on the street. Child Protection prevents and responds to child abuse, exploitation and neglect, and family separation.
Why is protection support important?
All children have the right to protection. Growing up in poverty and unsafe conditions is associated with significant threats to physical and mental health, brain development and learning.
Children affected by poverty, HIV and AIDS, disability, lack of parental care, conflict or natural disaster are particularly vulnerable to abuse, neglect, exploitation and HIV infection. Lack of protection increases a child's vulnerability to physical, social and emotional problems and HIV risk.
Abuse can have both short-term and long-term effects on individuals and communities, including long-term effects of gender-based violence on community health and economic problems. Some countries have found higher unemployment among adults who were abused or neglected as children. Other countries, where child abuse, exploitation and neglect are common, often suffer some civil unrest
How should protection support be delivered?
"Child Protection Programs should be both preventive,minimizing children's risk of facing violence, abuse, exploitation and neglect, and responsive, providing specialized services in cases where children are at especially high risk for - or have experienced - child protection violations" (AIDSTAR-One, July 2011). Recognizing that children have different needs at different ages and stages in their development, child protection programs should be developmentally appropriate and address specific needs of early childhood development, middle childhood and adolescence.
The focus on Child Protection Systems Strengthening represents a major paradigm shift within the protection field and requires new policies, partnerships and programming approaches (Policy and Programming Resource Guide For Child Protection Systems Strengthening in Sub-Saharan Africa, 2011).
Government, Civil Society, communities and families all play critical roles at different levels of the system and all share responsibility to protect children, including protecting them from HIV infection. Although families are ideally a child's primary caregiver, many families find this role challenging without community support. For communities to support families and ensure that children and families access a range of essential services, they must have the support of government and civil society. A well-organized, well-functioning social service system creates an environment for government and non-government, communities and families to care for children to the best of their ability.
Key Child Protection Activities and Messages
- Strengthen Child Protection Systems at every level: Government (Ministry of Social Services), Civil Society (NGO's CBO's, FBO's), Community and Family. Build connections between levels of child protection networks.
- Mandate policies that safeguard children as part of all OVC programs and partner collaborations. Promote child protection training for staff and partners such as "Keeping Children Safe" specialized training.
- Strengthen Government Capacity: Work with trained partners who have technical expertise to perform high-quality, child-sensitive child protection work.
- Strengthen families to provide nurturing environments and to reduce risks of poverty, food insecurity, illness, including HIV and child abuse.
- Provide children, families and caregivers with life-skills training and education to build self-esteem, resiliency and awareness of available support services.
- Prioritize the Child's Best Interests to determine the most effective prevention, early intervention and alternative care options.
- Consider residential care as a last resort. As a last resort, it should be time-limited, including a transition plan.
- Promote legal protection to ensure child rights, birth registration, access to basic services, inheritance rights and to prevent harmful practices such as child labor, early marriage, child trafficking and female genital mutilation.
- Advocate for enforcement of strong child protection legislation at all levels. Include trained law enforcement.
- Register each child's birth to ensure child rights and access to basic services. These services are vital in protecting against child abuse and exploitation.
- Integrate child protection activities within existing health services such as maternal and newborn health, prenatal care and PMTCT and within school-based programs.
- Base policies and practices on international standards such as the U.N. Convention on the rights of the child, and those listed in Protecting Children affected by HIV against Abuse, Exploitation, Violence and Neglect, appendix 1.

|Preventing Child Sexual Abuse: A Curriculum for Ages Five Through Eight provides information about sexual abuse and prevention to children (Grades 1-3) in the context of a religious education program. The thirteen sessions fit into a typical Sunday morning church school program, but can also be used for summer vacation church school, after school programs, camping programs, and a variety of other children's group events. Kathryn Goering Reid draws on excellent secular materials while using basic biblical resources. Preventing Child Sexual Abuse confronts misinterpretations of biblical passages that have been used to support abusive relationships. Through songs, worksheets and other reproducible items, prevention techniques are taught in an environment of God's caring and a supportive community.

EMU—Event Management Utility
Event management is a backbone of every enterprise management system, since it is the flow of events that describes various activities in the enterprise. By coordinating or acting on those events, enterprise starts being managed.
One of us, Jarra, has been contracting to a large computer company that was deploying Unicenter TNG for monitoring outsourced systems. Most of the systems were UNIX-based. Unicenter TNG agents, as is well known, are SNMP-based. After a considerable amount of time was spent tweaking the agents to come close to what he had decided to monitor and how to go about it, he arrived at the following conclusions:
SNMP results in thick agents that are inflexible for dynamically changing environments.
SNMP OIDs (Object IDentifiers) are not suitable for quick deployment of new resource hierarchies.
Without access to the source code, which is typical of most commercial software, there is no way to extend the functionality of existing agents.
The provided event management language is too restrictive and just another new language to learn.
Linux is a superior management platform to Windows NT, especially in terms of available tools and utilities.
The event console design determines the efficiency of the whole system.
We began thinking about how to accomplish system monitoring with ultra-thin clients, while maintaining their status at the event manager. That was when we thought of using a principal parameter we coined "time-to-live". At that very moment, EMU (Event Management Utility) was born. Each event message sent to EMU must have time-to-live set. It determines how long the message is kept in the database before it is deleted. If time-to-live is slightly more than the polling interval, the message will stay in the database until we stop resending it. In other words, the message will be in the database for the duration of an alarm only.
EMU is a comprehensive event management system with no limitations on what it can do for you. It harnesses the full power of Linux/UNIX utilities and scripting languages. Remember, software is here for us, and not the other way around.
Event management systems usually consist of four components: monitoring manager, monitoring agents, event manager and event console.
Monitoring agents typically poll a resource, such as a file system, at regular intervals in order to track its status changes. These changes are communicated to the manager. The manager processes incoming resource status changes and either forwards them to the event manager or updates the business rules it maintains. The monitoring manager can poll for resource status information as well.
Resources may be of any kind, such as file systems, processes, disk, swap, applications or logged-in users.
Some monitoring agents, such as Unicenter TNG, are built around SNMP. In those systems, agents use traps to notify monitoring managers of status changes. Traps are sent using the UDP protocol, hence their delivery is not guaranteed. This drawback has to be made up for by regular polling by the manager, thereby collecting resource status independent of traps.
SNMP agents maintain status information of each resource they monitor. This information is typically maintained by the monitoring manager as well. Both agents and the manager keep resource status stored in a database. This is a key design feature of SNMP-based monitoring. Let us consider a file system example. If a threshold is set at 90%, an alarm is raised on exceeding this threshold. The status of the resource is changed to critical. It must stay in the critical state until the file system is cleaned up. Then the status is changed back to normal.
A need to maintain resource status and resource hierarchy results in rather complex SNMP agent coding. As a result, it is not trivial to extend existing agents. Furthermore, C coding skills and access to the source code are necessary.
The monitoring agent forwards events to the event manager, which usually performs some kind of event processing, such as matching messages against predefined strings and triggering an action in case of a match. Unicenter TNG provides a language for matching messages and taking action on them. The language is extremely simple, and thus inadequate for performing more complex correlations and actions.
The event console is the front end for administration staff. It allows us to "view" events. Its design determines its usability and efficiency. Events representing one alarm should be displayed as one event, rather than getting a separate visible event at each poll. To keep track of events easily, one strives to keep their display representations to a minimum. Otherwise, they scroll out of view before IT staff can take note of them.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Does anybody know of a software that limits the audio output of a given source in case it peaks past a given threshold?
Talking of an AVLS (Automatic Volume Limiter System), just like those you find on some expensive headphones (which I don't have). But this is for Windows. Or for games. I'd write one myself, but I know no klutz of audio programming.
I have an old game that, um, politely now… oh heck, it *SUCKS* at
controlling its own audio output may its programmers sneeze violently
right now it's is the least they deserve for letting such foul thing go
into production… oh! sorry - I got carried away.
But to think that it was patched twice(!), come on.
Whatever the cause of it I don't care. But at the bare minimum volume level, the game will *BBBOOOOM!!!* my speakers (and my ears) off if I detonate a cluster of explosive barrels… whereas if I find a lone barrel to blast it will be a gentle and educated 'pum', perfectly in tune with the rest of the audio experience.
Somebody, help?

New Moon's Christian Serratos, who plays Bella Swan's friend Angela Weber, got pampered in Valerie Salon in Beverly Hills on Wednesday afternoon (November 4).What do you think of her new hair color? Personally, I liked her much, much more with the dark brown hair. She could be planning on going a lot blonder, though. I know for brunettes there's that in-between color you have to go first so you don't damage your hair. Still, I think she's too olive toned for blond. She's always pretty no matter what, though.

I've been browsing the internet for news and information concerning health and pharmaceutical news and there are a few interesting headlines that caught my attention.
The first one was a headline about a major break through in the development of new cancer drugs. The headline said "Capturing leukemic stem cells".
This one caught my attention because who is not interested in Cancer research these days? Cancer is one of the diseases that I think everyone fears. This is natural because there are so many forms of cancer and the reasons for getting cancer are so unknown.
Though most research is conclusive that it has much to do with our modern diet and that poor diet and exercise has much to contribute. Still a cure to any cancer, or a step toward a cure is always a head line that catches my interest.
Here is a quote from this news article:
"In a recent study published in Nature Methods, the scientists involved describe how they succeeded in identifying two new chemical compounds that allow to maintain leukemic stem cells in culture when these are grown outside the body.
This important advance opens the way to the identification of new cancer drugs to fight acute myeloid leukemia, one of the most aggressive forms of blood cancer.
The ability to grow leukemic stem cells in culture is a major breakthrough. The next step is to study the molecular mechanisms that regulate the survival and proliferation of leukemic cells as well as the resistance to cancer drugs."
I think this is great. We can learn so much more about cancer and how it grows, what environment it thrives under and what can kill it will help advance a cure to this kind of cancer.
The rest of the article can be accessed here.
Another headline that caught my attention today stated that "Honey is a New Approach to Fighting Antibiotic Resistance". I am a lover if fighting disease as naturally as possible, and only turning to drugs and pharmaceuticals as a last resort so this naturally caught my attention.
Here is an interesting quote from the article:
"The unique property of honey lies in its ability to fight infection on multiple levels, making it more difficult for bacteria to develop resistance," said study leader Susan M. Meschwitz, Ph.D. That is, it uses a combination of weapons, including hydrogen peroxide, acidity, osmotic effect, high sugar concentration and polyphenols – all of which actively kill bacterial cells, she explained. The osmotic effect, which is the result of the high sugar concentration in honey, draws water from the bacterial cells, dehydrating and killing them.
In addition, several studies have shown that honey inhibits the formation of biofilms, or communities of slimy disease-causing bacteria, she said. "Honey may also disrupt quorum sensing, which weakens bacterial virulence, rendering the bacteria more susceptible to conventional antibiotics," Meschwitz said. Quorum sensing is the way bacteria communicate with one another, and may be involved in the formation of biofilms. In certain bacteria, this communication system also controls the release of toxins, which affects the bacteria's pathogenicity, or their ability to cause disease."
I think this is great information that leads to the conclusion that prevention is the best medicine to any disease of illness. Read the rest of the article here.
Well that's it for today. Hope you stop by again soon.

I like your draft. Surprised you went with the kid from Elon. I was just on their campus last weekend. I see them play on ocassion but didn't even consider someone of their roster could get drafted.

Tomorrow's NEBASE Intro Slide
Designing PowerPoint presentations is FUN! And this is one I've wanted to work on for years. For almost ten years now, actually. It is the first time I'm presented the session and it a new direction, so *fingers crossed*. If nothing else, it will be unexpected, fun, entertaining and I *really* think, thought provoking. If you happen to be near Lincoln, NE tomorrow, why not swing by? A more *ahem* "refined" and adjusted version will be used at my LITA keynote session in October too.
